30 Pieces of Silver Lyrics by Hank Williams

Tis a sad but true storyFrom the Bible it cameAnd it tells us how Judas Sold the Savior in shameHe planned with the council Of high priest that day30 pieces of silver Was the price they would pay

30 pieces of silver 30 shackles of shameWas the price paid for Jesus On the cross he was slainBetrayed and forsaken Unloved and unclaimed In anger they pierced himBut he died not in VAINTwas on there on the hillside The multitude came And found our dear SaviorThen took him awayThey bruised Him and mocked Him Thorns were crowned around his headAnd his garment of purple Showed the blood stains of red

Far off in the mountains with his face towards the sun Judas begged mercy for what he had done He gave back the silver For his heart filled with strifeThen there in the mountain he took his own life

30 pieces of silver 30 shackles of shameWas the price paid for Jesus On the cross he was slain
